It’s WTF Wednesday and the headlines are weapons, not news.
This episode dives into how America’s image of strength is cracking while new power blocs rise abroad.
In Washington survivors are demanding answers about sealed files, proof that justice can still be smothered when money and influence hold the cards.
Courtrooms are handing down rulings that slap back at overreach, exposing how far some will go to bend old laws for new power.
Beyond America’s borders, rival powers are staging shows of force designed to rattle the West. They are banding together against America, signaling that a new axis of power is willing to challenge us outright.
The message is blunt, calculated, and meant to shake confidence.
At the same time questions are building about Donald Trump’s health and stamina. He insists on projecting strength while the cameras show something very different.
This is WTF Wednesday raw, unfiltered, and focused on the signals that reveal just how fragile the guardrails really are.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a world gone mad.
This is a world gone mad, mad,mad, mad, mad.
Welcome back to A World GoneMad where Donald Trump still
struts like a king without acrown and turning every day into
a hostage note and every lieinto a loyalty test for the
(00:22):
people dumb enough to follow him.
I'm Jeff Allen Wolfe, yourunwilling tour guide to this
carnival of idiots, liars andsociopaths who somehow wound up
running the demolition derby wecall America.
It's WTF Wednesday, where theheadlines aren't news.
(00:43):
They're weapons Fired pointblank by frauds who call
themselves patriots while thiscountry bleeds.
If this is your first timelistening, welcome aboard.
If you're a member of theWolfpack, thank you for
returning.
Either way, you've found yourhaven.
I'm not your babysitter andthis isn't a podcast about
(01:07):
coming together.
I'm here to rip the masks offof the crooks in charge, slam
their hypocrisy on the table andyell in their faces.
How dare you torch theConstitution just to feed your
greed?
Your WTF Wednesday edition?
Because every headline has youasking what the fuck are they
(01:31):
trying to get away with now?
What outrageous garbage arethey serving up this week?
My boxing gloves are on andit's time to punch my way
through all of this bullshit.
So here we go.
The Presidential Medal ofFreedom is supposed to be sacred
(01:55):
.
It's the nation's highestcivilian honor.
It has been given to Rosa Parksfor changing the course of
history with one act of defiance.
To John Lewis, who put his bodyon the line for voting rights
and nearly paid with his life.
To Maya Angelou, who gave thiscountry words when it had none.
(02:19):
The medal is supposed to standfor courage and sacrifice and
the best of who we are.
And Donald Trump just handedthat Medal of Freedom to Rudy
Giuliani.
Rudy, the man suspended frompracticing law in New York and
Washington for lying about the2020 election.
(02:42):
The man still facing lawsuitsfor smearing election workers
with conspiracy theories.
The man who once stood atground zero as America's mayor
and now stands in courtrooms asAmerica's cautionary tale.
That's who Trump decidedbelongs on the same list as Rosa
(03:03):
Parks.
It's obscene, it's grotesque.
It's like giving the PulitzerPrize to the guy who writes
bathroom graffiti.
Like handing out Olympic goldmedals for falling off the
balance beam.
Giuliani has spent the lastfour years trying to light
(03:24):
democracy on fire and Trumprewards him with the highest
civilian honor of America.
So let's be clear this isn'tabout honoring service or
sacrifice.
This is about rewarding loyalty.
This is about taking aninstitution that used to inspire
pride and dragging it facefirst through the mud.
(03:48):
And if you think the Medal ofFreedom means less today than it
did yesterday, congratulations.
That's exactly the point.
Trump's busy decorating RudyGiuliani with the Medal of
Freedom like it's a Cracker Jackprize and meanwhile, outside
the Capitol, epstein's survivorsare screaming for something
(04:12):
America still hasn't given them.
Given them the goddamn truth.
And let me tell you, they arenot demanding money, they are
not demanding apologies.
They are demanding thatCongress crack open the files,
every single one.
33,000 pages just dropped.
And what do we get?
(04:33):
Junk fluff, recycled garbage, apaperwork, snow job.
And the real files, the onesthat could burn names into
history, the ones that couldshow exactly who enabled Epstein
, who protected him, who usedhis human trafficking pipeline
like their own personal Uberthose are still sealed shut.
(04:56):
Survivors who were traffickedas kids had to stand on the
steps of the Capitol begginglawmakers to do the bare minimum
.
Imagine that you get abused bythe powerful and decades later,
you have to hire a microphonejust to be believed.
(05:16):
Now here comes the partCongress can't dodge.
Ro Khanna on the left, thomasMassey on the right are teaming
up to force a vote.
You know how broken this clowncar of Congress is.
Yet even they can agree thatsunlight is the only answer,
because the public deserves toknow who was in it.
(05:39):
And Trump knows damn well why.
His people want this lidwielded shut, because his name
has been tied to Epstein fordecades.
Flight logs, photographs thepublic record is there.
Trump can scream fake newsuntil his spray tan slides off
his face, but he knows what's inthose files.
(06:01):
This is not tabloid gossip, buthe knows what's in those files.
This is not tabloid gossip.
This is about whether Americaprotects children or shields
predators with money and power,whether we finally give
survivors justice or justanother round of silence.
And if this country can't findthe guts to pull that curtain
(06:22):
back, then the message is loudand clear If you're rich enough
and connected enough, rapewhoever the hell you want.
You're untouchable.
The files will make sure of it.
(06:49):
Okay, trump rips the US SpaceCommand out of Colorado and
dumps it in Alabama, not becausethe military wanted it, not
because strategy demanded it,but because Alabama kisses
Donald's ass harder.
Colorado had the infrastructure, the trained workforce, the
high-tech ecosystem sittingthere ready to go.
Biden locked it in because itmade sense.
Trump blew it up and tossedbillions of dollars of planning
(07:10):
in the trash, just to score around of applause from his fan
club.
And while Trump's playing realestate games with national
security, the courts areslapping him around.
A federal appeals court ruledhis 2024 order sending the
National Guard into Los Angeleswas illegal, flat out illegal.
(07:30):
He used US troops like hisprivate militia and got smacked
down.
Another court blocked his stuntwith the Alien Enemies Act to
mass deport Venezuelans.
Another power grab, face planted.
This isn't defense policy, it'sdemolition.
(07:50):
Move Space Command for politics.
Deploy soldiers into Americancities like toy figurines.
Dust off an ancient law to goafter immigrants.
It's not leadership, it's notstrategy.
It's one man tearing the guardrails out of the system in real
time, and that's the wholeplaybook.
(08:11):
Rip Space Command out ofColorado for applause.
Order troops into Los Angeleslike toy soldiers.
Try to deport Venezuelans witha law older than electricity.
Pure ego.
It's vandalism in a suit.
And every time a court smackshim down, he doesn't stop, he
just looks for the next wall toram his head through.
(08:33):
Because for Trump it's neverabout security, never about
strategy, never about America.
It's about feeding his egowhile the rest of us get stuck
with the wreckage.
So while Trump is doing all ofthese actions, in Yanjin,
china's Xi Jinping hosted theShanghai Cooperation
(08:56):
Organization.
More than 20 leaders gatheredfor what looked less like a
summit and more like arecruitment drive.
The headline wasn't thespeeches, it was the photo Xi in
the middle, putin soaking upthe attention like a washed up
boxer, trying to prove he stillbelongs, and India's Prime
(09:17):
Minister Modi sitting closeenough to be counted but careful
enough to keep his escaperoutes open.
They dressed it up as the riseof the global south, the big
counterweight to Washington.
She thundered that China's riseis unstoppable.
Putin called it a turning point, because without these
(09:39):
countries he's just a dictatorclinging to sanctions relief.
Modi kept his cards tight,nodding here, shaking hands
there, making sure India getscredit for being in the room
without getting locked intoanyone's corner.
Their tableau was the messageRussia with nukes, china with
(10:01):
money, india with options.
Not an alliance yet, but thekind of warning that makes
Washington nervous.
And this is what happens whenTrump is in the White House.
While he's moving Space Commandaround like a campaign prop and
screaming at the Fed, china'sXi is filling the vacuum the
(10:23):
United States is supposed to bethe counterweight.
Instead it is a circus.
America looks weak, unstable,unserious Dictators see the
opening and they are lining upto take it.
And it wasn't just talk.
They pitched trade in UNinstead of dollars, an SEO,
(10:44):
development bank, securitycoordination and intelligence
sharing that shuts the West out,and intelligence sharing that
shuts the West out.
Even AI partnerships, because,of course, the men who lock up
journalists want to play withartificial intelligence.
They signed it all off in theYen-Yin Declaration, a polished
piece of paper with one realpoint.
(11:06):
They are building thescaffolding to chip away at US
power, brick by brick.
The choreography was obviousSummit first, the words, the
handshakes, the stage, unity,and in Act Two, the stage got
even darker.
China just threw the biggestmilitary parade since World War
(11:28):
II.
And it wasn't a parade, it wasa warning shot to the planet.
China's Xi Jinping rolls outtanks, missiles, drones and, yes
, robot wolves.
Robot wolves, becauseapparently Beijing decided
Terminator was a documentary.
(11:49):
Tiananmen Square turns into aflex-off where Xi is flanked by
Putin and Kim Jong-un, theauthoritarian all-stars standing
shoulder to shoulder, as ifthey just dropped the hottest
dictator mixtape of 2025.
Hypersonic missiles roar pastlike fireworks designed to make
(12:13):
the Pentagon soil itself.
Drones fill the sky informations that scream we can
blind you whenever we want.
Then the robot wolves march inMetallic dog-like robots and
it's no longer a parade, it's afever dream.
(12:33):
China's Xi declares the worldnow faces a choice Peace or war.
Coming from him.
That's not a choice.
That's a mob boss standing overyour table at dinner asking you
if you like breathing.
This wasn't about Chinacelebrating its military.
This was Xi saying to the West,to America look at what I can
(12:57):
unleash if I feel like it.
And he chose Putin and Kim ashis wingmen to send the message
louder.
It's not subtle.
It is a rising axis of powertelling the rest of the world to
sit down, shut up and pray.
They let us keep Netflix.
And here's the part that shouldchill all of us.
(13:21):
While Trump plays strongman byrelocating Space Command in
Alabama for ego points, china'sXi is parading weapons that can
wipe out aircraft carriers inminutes.
Donald is treating the USmilitary like a campaign prop.
China's Xi is treating hismilitary like a doomsday machine
(13:42):
.
And if that does not make you,slam your drink down and shout
what the fuck?
I don't know what will.
Shout what the fuck?
I don't know what will.
And don't kid yourself, thiswasn't just for show inside
China.
This was broadcast for theworld.
A flex meant for Washington,for Brussels, for Tokyo, to make
(14:04):
every alley of America stop andwonder whether their defense
treaties are worth the paperthey're printed on.
Because when you roll outhypersonic missiles, drone
swarms and robot war dogs onlive television, you're not
sending a Hallmark card.
You're saying this is thefuture and we are driving it.
(14:30):
The parade was also China's Xilocking arms with Putin and Kim,
and that matters.
These aren't just dictatorsposing for the cameras, they are
sending a message.
The so-called axis of upheavalis no longer a headline, it's a
block of power.
(14:50):
Nuclear weapons in Russia,long-range missiles in North
Korea, the world's secondlargest economy in China, all
standing together and daring theWest to blink first.
And here's the kicker WhileAmerica's bickering on the
sideline over scraps, whileAmerica's bickering on the
(15:14):
sideline over scraps, china's Xiis building a coalition
designed to scare the hell outof the Pentagon.
He isn't just putting on aparade, he's laying down a
marker A new world order whereauthoritarianism doesn't just
survive, it struts.
So the choice isn't reallypeace or war.
China's Xi made that clear.
(15:36):
The choice is whether the Westwakes the hell up or keeps
sleepwalking until the day.
The spectacle isn't on paradegrounds, but it's rolling
straight at us and right whenAmerica should be projecting
strength, our own president,donald Trump, looks like he's
(15:59):
unraveling At the very moment.
She and Putin and Kim arelocking arms, staging parades,
building blocks and daring theWest to blink.
America is led by a man wholooks like he can barely hold it
together.
The stakes could not be higherand our president looks weaker
(16:20):
than ever.
And the proof is in thephotographs Swollen ankles,
plain as day.
A bruised hand on Donald Trumpthat the White House tried to
explain away as aspirin and badveins and then, with a straight
face, said it was because DonaldTrump has shaken more hands
(16:42):
than any president in history.
That's the excuse, that's thespin.
A visible bruise dressed up asfolklore, and if you look close,
listeners, there's makeupsmeared over Donald's bruise
like a cover-up job gone wrong.
The camera doesn't lie.
(17:02):
Trump is 79.
His body is breaking down inpublic view.
Every shuffle across the stage,every glazed stare view, every
shuffle across the stage, everyglazed stare, every slurred line
isn't just about him anymore.
It's about us, because when theworld sees the President of the
United States unraveling.
(17:23):
It doesn't look like hisproblem.
It looks like our weakness, andweakness invites predators.
Power weakness and weaknessinvites predators.
China parading hypersonicmissiles, russia is clinging to
new partners, india is hedgingits bets and America?
America is projecting fragilityat the worst possible time.
(17:46):
That's not strength, that's notleadership, that's a signal
flare that says opportunity.
And if the Republicans have tobreak glass in case of emergency
, waiting in the wings is JDVance, not a steady hand, not a
tested leader, just anopportunist rehearsing for his
(18:09):
chance.
That's not stability, that's anightmare.
The wolves are already at thedoor and, thanks to Trump's
failing health and collapsingimage of power, america doesn't
look like the hunter anymore, itlooks like prey.
(18:29):
This is WTF Wednesday and Irefuse to ignore any of this, I
refuse to scroll past.
And if you, the Wolfpacklistener, is not screaming what
the fuck are they trying to getaway with now, then

Welcome back to A World GoneMad where Donald Trump still
struts like a king without acrown and turning every day into
a hostage note and every lieinto a loyalty test for the
(00:22):
people dumb enough to follow him.
I'm Jeff Allen Wolfe, yourunwilling tour guide to this
carnival of idiots, liars andsociopaths who somehow wound up
running the demolition derby wecall America.
It's WTF Wednesday, where theheadlines aren't news.
(00:43):
They're weapons Fired pointblank by frauds who call
themselves patriots while thiscountry bleeds.
If this is your first timelistening, welcome aboard.
If you're a member of theWolfpack, thank you for
returning.
Either way, you've found yourhaven.
I'm not your babysitter andthis isn't a podcast about
(01:07):
coming together.
I'm here to rip the masks offof the crooks in charge, slam
their hypocrisy on the table andyell in their faces.
How dare you torch theConstitution just to feed your
greed?
Your WTF Wednesday edition?
Because every headline has youasking what the fuck are they
(01:31):
trying to get away with now?
What outrageous garbage arethey serving up this week?
My boxing gloves are on andit's time to punch my way
through all of this bullshit.
So here we go.
The Presidential Medal ofFreedom is supposed to be sacred
(01:55):
.
It's the nation's highestcivilian honor.
It has been given to Rosa Parksfor changing the course of
history with one act of defiance.
To John Lewis, who put his bodyon the line for voting rights
and nearly paid with his life.
To Maya Angelou, who gave thiscountry words when it had none.
(02:19):
The medal is supposed to standfor courage and sacrifice and
the best of who we are.
And Donald Trump just handedthat Medal of Freedom to Rudy
Giuliani.
Rudy, the man suspended frompracticing law in New York and
Washington for lying about the2020 election.
(02:42):
The man still facing lawsuitsfor smearing election workers
with conspiracy theories.
The man who once stood atground zero as America's mayor
and now stands in courtrooms asAmerica's cautionary tale.
That's who Trump decidedbelongs on the same list as Rosa
(03:03):
Parks.
It's obscene, it's grotesque.
It's like giving the PulitzerPrize to the guy who writes
bathroom graffiti.
Like handing out Olympic goldmedals for falling off the
balance beam.
Giuliani has spent the lastfour years trying to light
(03:24):
democracy on fire and Trumprewards him with the highest
civilian honor of America.
So let's be clear this isn'tabout honoring service or
sacrifice.
This is about rewarding loyalty.
This is about taking aninstitution that used to inspire
pride and dragging it facefirst through the mud.
(03:48):
And if you think the Medal ofFreedom means less today than it
did yesterday, congratulations.
That's exactly the point.
Trump's busy decorating RudyGiuliani with the Medal of
Freedom like it's a Cracker Jackprize and meanwhile, outside
the Capitol, epstein's survivorsare screaming for something
(04:12):
America still hasn't given them.
Given them the goddamn truth.
And let me tell you, they arenot demanding money, they are
not demanding apologies.
They are demanding thatCongress crack open the files,
every single one.
33,000 pages just dropped.
And what do we get?
(04:33):
Junk fluff, recycled garbage, apaperwork, snow job.
And the real files, the onesthat could burn names into
history, the ones that couldshow exactly who enabled Epstein
, who protected him, who usedhis human trafficking pipeline
like their own personal Uberthose are still sealed shut.
(04:56):
Survivors who were traffickedas kids had to stand on the
steps of the Capitol begginglawmakers to do the bare minimum
.
Imagine that you get abused bythe powerful and decades later,
you have to hire a microphonejust to be believed.
(05:16):
Now here comes the partCongress can't dodge.
Ro Khanna on the left, thomasMassey on the right are teaming
up to force a vote.
You know how broken this clowncar of Congress is.
Yet even they can agree thatsunlight is the only answer,
because the public deserves toknow who was in it.
(05:39):
And Trump knows damn well why.
His people want this lidwielded shut, because his name
has been tied to Epstein fordecades.
Flight logs, photographs thepublic record is there.
Trump can scream fake newsuntil his spray tan slides off
his face, but he knows what's inthose files.
(06:01):
This is not tabloid gossip, buthe knows what's in those files.
This is not tabloid gossip.
This is about whether Americaprotects children or shields
predators with money and power,whether we finally give
survivors justice or justanother round of silence.
And if this country can't findthe guts to pull that curtain
(06:22):
back, then the message is loudand clear If you're rich enough
and connected enough, rapewhoever the hell you want.
You're untouchable.
The files will make sure of it.
(06:49):
Okay, trump rips the US SpaceCommand out of Colorado and
dumps it in Alabama, not becausethe military wanted it, not
because strategy demanded it,but because Alabama kisses
Donald's ass harder.
Colorado had the infrastructure, the trained workforce, the
high-tech ecosystem sittingthere ready to go.
Biden locked it in because itmade sense.
Trump blew it up and tossedbillions of dollars of planning
(07:10):
in the trash, just to score around of applause from his fan
club.
And while Trump's playing realestate games with national
security, the courts areslapping him around.
A federal appeals court ruledhis 2024 order sending the

(07:30):
He used US troops like hisprivate militia and got smacked
down.
Another court blocked his stuntwith the Alien Enemies Act to
mass deport Venezuelans.
Another power grab, face planted.
This isn't defense policy, it'sdemolition.
(07:50):
Move Space Command for politics.
Deploy soldiers into Americancities like toy figurines.
Dust off an ancient law to goafter immigrants.
It's not leadership, it's notstrategy.
It's one man tearing the guardrails out of the system in real
time, and that's the wholeplaybook.
(08:11):
Rip Space Command out ofColorado for applause.
Order troops into Los Angeleslike toy soldiers.
Try to deport Venezuelans witha law older than electricity.
Pure ego.
It's vandalism in a suit.
And every time a court smackshim down, he doesn't stop, he
just looks for the next wall toram his head through.
(08:33):
Because for Trump it's neverabout security, never about
strategy, never about America.
It's about feeding his egowhile the rest of us get stuck

So while Trump is doing all ofthese actions, in Yanjin,

You're saying this is thefuture and we are driving it.
(14:30):
The parade was also China's Xilocking arms with Putin and Kim,
and that matters.
These aren't just dictatorsposing for the cameras, they are
sending a message.
The so-called axis of upheavalis no longer a headline, it's a
block of power.
(14:50):
Nuclear weapons in Russia,long-range missiles in North
Korea, the world's secondlargest economy in China, all
standing together and daring theWest to blink first.
And here's the kicker WhileAmerica's bickering on the
sideline over scraps, whileAmerica's bickering on the
(15:14):
sideline over scraps, china's Xiis building a coalition
designed to scare the hell outof the Pentagon.
He isn't just putting on aparade, he's laying down a
marker A new world order whereauthoritarianism doesn't just
survive, it struts.
So the choice isn't reallypeace or war.
China's Xi made that clear.
(15:36):
The choice is whether the Westwakes the hell up or keeps
sleepwalking until the day.
The spectacle isn't on paradegrounds, but it's rolling
straight at us and right whenAmerica should be projecting
strength, our own president,donald Trump, looks like he's
(15:59):
unraveling At the very moment.
She and Putin and Kim arelocking arms, staging parades,
building blocks and daring theWest to blink.
America is led by a man wholooks like he can barely hold it
together.
The stakes could not be higherand our president looks weaker
(16:20):
than ever.
And the proof is in thephotographs Swollen ankles,
plain as day.
A bruised hand on Donald Trumpthat the White House tried to
explain away as aspirin and badveins and then, with a straight
face, said it was because DonaldTrump has shaken more hands
(16:42):
than any president in history.
That's the excuse, that's thespin.
A visible bruise dressed up asfolklore, and if you look close,
listeners, there's makeupsmeared over Donald's bruise
like a cover-up job gone wrong.
The camera doesn't lie.
(17:02):
Trump is 79.
His body is breaking down inpublic view.
Every shuffle across the stage,every glazed stare view, every
shuffle across the stage, everyglazed stare, every slurred line
isn't just about him anymore.
It's about us, because when theworld sees the President of the
United States unraveling.
(17:23):
It doesn't look like hisproblem.
It looks like our weakness, andweakness invites predators.
Power weakness and weaknessinvites predators.
China parading hypersonicmissiles, russia is clinging to
new partners, india is hedgingits bets and America?
America is projecting fragilityat the worst possible time.
(17:46):
That's not strength, that's notleadership, that's a signal
flare that says opportunity.
And if the Republicans have tobreak glass in case of emergency
, waiting in the wings is JDVance, not a steady hand, not a
tested leader, just anopportunist rehearsing for his
(18:09):
chance.
That's not stability, that's anightmare.
The wolves are already at thedoor and, thanks to Trump's
failing health and collapsingimage of power, america doesn't
look like the hunter anymore, itlooks like prey.
(18:29):
